Introduction
A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery such as that used in agriculture, mining or construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and originally) tillage, but nowadays a great variety of tasks. Agricultural implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanised.
Challenges
To do
- Purchase 3x gearboxes, motors,
spindle kits - Purchase 4x linear actuators
- Purchase 8x mounting pins for linear actuators
- Purchase truck box
- Purchase 2x rear casters
- Draw / cut gearbox mounting plate
- Draw / cut linear actuator mounting plate
- Draw / cut arm pivot plate
- Draw / cut caster mounting plate
Approaches
Light duty electric
- MRV050 or NMRV050 worm gear reducer
- Gearbox mounting plate x 2
- Linear actuator mounting plate x 4 per actuator
- Arm pivot plate x 4 (can include linear actuator mounts)
